I have an application, built with Rails 3.1.3, that has products and 
categories. The categories are related to other categories, so a category 
can be a parent or a child category. The products are then related to a 
child category.
Now, I''m thinking about how I should define the routes. Is it a good
idea
to somehow nest the categories and products resources? Ideally, I would 
like URLs like this:
    
    example.com/parent/child/product-1234
    
    like this:
    example.com/clothes/underwear/some-socks-1234
    or maybe like this to keep it restful?
    example.com/p/clothes/c/underwear/....
But maybe that''s a bit messy to achieve with the routes? I would have
to
nest the category with itself I guess?
Any ideas on how to achieve something like this?
Do I create the category routes like this:
    resources :categories, :as => "parent" do
        resources :categories, :as => "child"
    end
or similar?
It''s not that important to have the product nested inside the
categories.
Maybe it will just make it hard to manage...
